If this leak continues the ceiling will eventually rot out, not to mention the very likely possibility of mold growing. The problem upstairs is probably something simple but needs immediate attention. Good luck. Advise the person above that they will be held responsible for damages to your unit.

I'm sure you must be feeling the affects of the mildue by now, or you will soon. You do have recourse, the health issues that come with water damage are many, which include "sick building syndrome". First go to the person above and talk with them, tell them that the problem you mentioned before has gotten worse and that something needs to be done asap. Tell him you've contracted someone but that you need access to the problem site on his end. If he says no, then up the ante and say that your experiencing health issues that could be responsible, cough for good measure...lol. Keep a log of conversations and when and where. If that fails send a nasty letter to the association telling them of what has transpired and how you expect them to be a mediary of sorts in this because of the mutual effect on the value of the building if it declines. If that does not work take them to small claims. I'm assuming that you already had to pay for the worker to come out originaly so you already have damages. I'm sure its really stressing you out too, that would be a good thing to mention. Make sure you keep all paperwork togethe. Good luck. This is very unfortunate for you.

They are responsible for any damage to your unit due to water damage. If they refuse, get the association involved, to mediate or force the repairs on the owners.
